They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Look, when the parliamentary leader of the Rassemblement national refuses to appear at CPAC thanks to Bannon giving a "provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month", you should just acknowledge that these guys are fucking Nazis!

The Telegraph has become nothing more than a national embarrassment

You can put Telegraph in the same bracket as the Morning Star when it comes to prioritising the interests of foreign authoritarian regimes over British and European interests
